Fused and pieced on crinoline, enhanced by machine quilting and luminere paint. Cotton, silk and organza. This was a project from Valerie Goodwin’s class – Favorite Places. Valerie inspired us to use architectural maps and an “aerial” perspective. My home is on the right – the golf course out my window.     

Fused with Steam-a-Seam II. Cotton fabric fused to fabric sandwich. Free-motion quilting over design. After visiting Laurel, NC (near Hendersonville), the beauty of the Smokies and Blue Ridge mountains are inspiring. The protective fencing was art work itself – a sculpture of the mountains.

Printed fabric, beading over Veltex. Vintage buttons. This was from a beading class taught by Lisa Binkley. The beading was challengingand the “moon” is a vintage button from my mother.

Improv cotton squares, free motion quilted. This was project from a workshop with Cindy Grisdela – Improv Puzzles. My granddaughter loves outer space, and this inspired me to do a wonky solar system. 

Wedge piecing and circles from class with Marge Tucker. Machine quilted. The mid-century modern colors and patterns inspired me to make this quilt during a workshop with Marge Tucker. The improv style and quilt blocks help to modernize the colors. Wedge blocks – Marge Tucker method. Design original.
